Caverna Aroe Jari, Sandstone cave in Chapada dos Guimarães National Park, Brazil.
Caverna Aroe Jari is a sandstone cave within Chapada dos Guimarães National Park featuring multiple chambers and interconnected passages. A stream flows through the cave system and creates a natural lagoon near the entrance area.
The cave system was first scientifically documented by French explorer Ramis Bucair in the early 1970s. This initial thorough exploration established its geological significance for the scientific community.
The name comes from the Bororo indigenous language, meaning 'soul shelter,' reflecting deep ties to local spiritual traditions.
Visitors explore the cave only with certified guides who safely lead the way through sandstone formations. Sturdy footwear, a headlamp, and a helmet are necessary to navigate the pathways securely.
The cave maintains a steady temperature of around 19 to 20 degrees Celsius year-round, regardless of outside conditions. This stable environment creates a distinctive underground ecosystem that remains virtually unchanged.
